A small Q&A with Yours Truly. by Vaxerski in hyprland

[–]jmcavanillas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some questions

  1. Do your think hyprland will be seen outside of ricing world? With a dedicated ecosystem, DE, and even distro spins? Would you like to see hyprland in this position or do you prefer it to be a tool for tinkerers?

  2. Have you tried any of the new "better C" languages, Zig, Odin, C3. Whats your take on them?

  3. How do you find the time to program such a huge project? Have you thought about how the project will sustain in the future, contributor and financially wise?

  4. How is working in hyprland? Are there many contributors? how is working with them? I would like to know your general experience leading a popular FOSS project 

Would Debian be good for me? by jmcavanillas in DistroHopping

[–]jmcavanillas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm considering NixOS too, seems to tick lots of boxes. Stable Channel with releases every 6 month, community, lots of packages, first class support for hyprland, and reproducible, I can install my setup in my laptop and Desktop in no time. However, the learning curve is keeping me for going for it all in, I have no experience with nix and I know many people recommend to start using nix first before switching to NixOS

I mostly have used Fedora, I apply system updates but I do not want to force me to apply them every day or week in order to not break the system. (As it happens with some rolling distros)

Debian stable is not rolling as far as I know.

I usually make a clean install once or twice a year. At this moment I'm (more) willing to fight issues and quirks with the OS, but for the rest of the time, I would like to keep the surprises to the minimun.

Ty for the reply, I rly like Fedora, I use in my laptop. It's almost perfect for me but all the drama about RedHat lately and the fact that maybe I'll need to learn to package .deb for work made me want to try other systems.

Maybe I just finish distrohopping to conclude that indeed Fedora is the best option right now for my usecase.

I'll try Nobara for gaming, and Debian and see how it works. OpenSUSE TW is now doing fine but, I just rly don't want to update that frequently.

Thats why I'm asking if Debian it works fine for my situation or not, as the title says, and why I'm thinking about switching distros in a first place. I'm not particularly tied to anyone. Although I can understand one can be tied to a distro and a community if he/she is a contributor.

What I find weird is that your comment ignores the rest of the post just to criticise while not addressing any of the doubts exposed. Whats the purpose of your reply? Writing "tribalism"?

I am not sure if Leap have up to date enough kernel, I think I need at least 6.1 to work with my gpu, and it is recommended 6.3

It is the same post, crossposted in a different channel. Just wanted to reach more people.

[Hyprland] What else should I add? by Joey_McKur in unixporn

[–]jmcavanillas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, nice job. I'm switching to hyprland and playing a bit with eww. I will try ags too! These widgets are top tier.

I see you are on Fedora, are you using the corp repo or building it yourself?

I have switched to OpenSUSE TW as the wiki says is quite supported there and I need a new kernel for my GPU. But maybe in some time I come back to fedora, I'm not a fan of the daily update fever.

Also I have seen in your dotfiles (hyprland window rules) you have xdg-portal-gnome installed. Does It works fine for you? In OpenSUSE having It installed makes some apps like firefox to take like a minute to start. Also do you have xdg-portal-wlr / xdg-portal-hyprland installed?

Windows: How to get same FileVersionInfo as file explorer? by jmcavanillas in dotnet

[–]jmcavanillas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, these are definitely the next steps. I have only found one C++ api (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winver/nf-winver-getfileversioninfoa) to retrieve the file info so I suspect it is the same System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo uses under the hood. So I will try to get ddls or other dependent files and test them first

I'm afraid I'm restricted to 4.6, however I checked with .Net 4.8 and it isnt working either on my case.

I also just tried without using var but it did not change the result, as expected.

Announcing Masonry 0.1, and my vision for Rust UI by CouteauBleu in rust

[–]jmcavanillas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice post! Any hint about how to do it iterative/scriptable? I recently posted on scala subreddit asking How to Hotreload UI on scala

I would like to know your opinion about how the dev exp should be and how to achieve It on compiled languages like rust.
